Yes, it was strange how the grimness lingered. We were also given a booklet of poems by children written to commemorate the Great War, prize winners in a competition. The poems were excellent and so understanding of the feelings involved in such loss of life – very moving and emotional, I had to stop reading them. Check out ‘Never Such Innocence’ (www.neversuchinnocence.com). The gloom has lifted now – been playing with my grandson today!
